It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet I was really into costumes and the arts and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.

I do love DVD and I've always taken them seriously. You know on the Austin things we really put a ton of work into them because there's so much design involved. And in this one we thought a lot about it and what could go in.

That's a hobby of mine - to do whatever I can for unusual for-hire creative projects. I am waiting for someone to really challenge me - obviously I'm often approached to do film related work but I would be very happy to design a bar or an amusement park ride. I would love to be an imagineer!

And then build a bustling wonderful city of the 21st century with a restoration of a spectacular skyline which Manhattan of course needs. So that is really the design as a whole.

I was in college and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time it seemed the thing I really wanted to do production design just wasn't available in the U.K. so I turned to music.

I think taking design out of the studio and really having a relationship with the people that you're making it for really convinced me of how powerful a thing design is. It's not just an aesthetic decoration.

Stargate by far is the top of the pile when it comes to Sci-Fi. The quality is great. They have really good writers production design lighting wardrobe.

I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.

I have been wildly enthused about gaming since I was younger and a career path I chose not to go down but did really consider was getting into programming and game design.

I had a faux-hawk for a while and I used to buzz the sides and design it. It was really bad.

With fashion you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.

But I'm blessed to work with great people. I collaborate with brilliant stylists both here and in Paris. I work with a great design team. I really allow everyone to bring their ideas. I almost rely on them to inspire me.

I'm not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I've never been to design school. I can't sketch. I can't cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.

I really see myself continuing to design clothes fragrances.

Designing is my hobby. If I didn't do what I do for a living - at some point when I don't do this for a living - I'll probably just do design work. I love finding really special pieces of furniture.

The design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like although that was part of it. Primarily it was how it worked. To design something really well you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something chew it up not just quickly swallow it.

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course if you dig deeper it's really how it works.

So to really execute design in its highest form and making people feel joy that's a great reward.

I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.

This is what I like about being a designer: You can't really get it until you see it.

Depakote also has a really bad side effect which is death.

I think about death a lot I really do because I can't believe I won't exist. It's the ego isn't it? I feel that I should retreat into a better form of Zen Buddhism than this kind of ego-dominated thing. But I don't know I mean I want to come back as a tree but I suspect that it's just not going to happen is it?

You know I've never actually really believed that death is inevitable. I just think it's a rumor.

The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.
